Trying to get a decimal point using Match command
I am doing a ranking (1,2,3,4) where 1 = 6 points, 2= 4.5 points, 3 = 3
points and a 4 = 1.5 points. Any suggestions on how I can capture the 4.5 and 1.5, I was using the Match function, where =MATCH(G12,{4,"b",3,2,"e",1},0) |

Any suggestions on how I can capture the 4.5 and 1.5, I was using the Match function, where =MATCH(G12,{4,"b",3,2,"e",1},0) MATCH returns the relative position in an array, so by definition can only return integers. You need a VLOOKUP. Put your ranks (1,2,3,4) in (say) A1:A4 and the corresponding points (6,4.5,3,1.5) in B1:B4. (You can choose some other convenient 4x2 area for this - just alter the references). Then use the formula =VLOOKUP(G12,A1:B4,2,0) |

Then use the formula =VLOOKUP(G12,A1:B4,2,0) Or, if your ranking list will always be so short and you want to keep it all in the formula, use =VLOOKUP(G12,{1,6;2,4.5;3,3;4,1.5},2,0) |

Trying to get a decimal point using Match command
Your question is not entirely clear to me. Are you saying that in G12 you
have a number (1, 2, 3 or 4) and you want a formula to return a corresponding value (6, 4.5, 3 or 1.5)? If so, this should work... =1.5*(5-G12) Rick "nynybmbc" wrote in message ...
